That phrase worked minimally well for the theme to Baretta, but for a 
traffic infraction???


This will probably bug the whinier folks here who admonished me for my
momentary oversight while driving that day: I managed to talk a $128
traffic school fee down to $79. 

I'd encourage anyone in a similar position also to take the ticket to 
court.  Maybe if enough of us start fighting these things authorities 
will get tougher on things like white-collar crime.  Then again, maybe not.

At any rate, thanks for all your suggestions, even the tight-assed ones 
that said I should suck up to whatever the authorities say I have to pay.

Best,

Dan Goodin
